I like the idea of road testing something like a PolarFire FPGS, but the learning curve for such a complex product is probably too long for a road test schedule.
Xilinx (Vivado) is too expensive to justify buying for a road test, or for the number of FPGA projects I would use it for.
Going through a huge learning curve with a temporary software license for something you don't end up owning is not usually time well spent.
Xilinx Vivado is offered in free edition which works well. Development for PolarFire is done in Libero SoC and Microchip last year changed licensing policy, so you can obtail silver license also for free.
